​Last we heard, Midlake was back at work, writing some material for a follow-up to 2010's The Courage of Others, a disc that scored pretty much as highly as possible in Europe but gained little traction in the States. As intent as they may be on following up that release, though, it looks like the band's just bought itself some more time.

On April 4, Midlake's name will be slapped on top of the latest in a series of compilation albums called LateNightTales, in which the UK-based company behind the moniker invites bands to compile their 19 favorite tracks while keeping in mind that, as the series title implies, they're looking for songs that go especially well with late night listening.
